        "summary": "Perum Jasa Tirta II says construction preparations are advancing for a 100 MW floating solar plant at Jatigede Reservoir, while an 80 MW project at Jatiluhur remains at the feasibility-study stage. The company also identifies up to 2.8 GWp of potential across its reservoirs and plans to explore five further sites from 2027, as Indonesia pursues a 100 GWp solar programme.",
        "content": "<p>PURWAKARTA \u2014 Perum Jasa Tirta II (PJT II) said development of a\n100-megawatt (MW) floating solar power plant at Jatigede Reservoir in\nSumedang, West Java, is due to begin soon. Meanwhile, an 80 MW project\nat Jatiluhur Reservoir in Purwakarta is still at the feasibility-study\nstage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 100-megawatt Jatigede project is about to start. Jatiluhur is\nstill at the FS, or feasibility-study, stage,\u201d PJT II President Director\nImam Santoso said after an event with the State-Owned Enterprises\nRegulatory Agency (BP BUMN) in Purwakarta, West Java, on Saturday (24\nOctober 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Imam said the two projects are part of the company\u2019s renewable energy\ndevelopment plans, which involve making use of reservoir areas.<\/p>\n<p>However, he did not provide details of the construction schedules or\ncommissioning targets for the two floating solar power plants.<\/p>\n<p>According to Imam\u2019s presentation, the planned Jatiluhur floating\nsolar plant will have a capacity of 80 MW, while Jatigede\u2019s will be 100\nMW.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the two projects, PJT II has identified the potential\nto develop up to 2.8 gigawatt-peak (GWp) of floating solar capacity at\nreservoirs within its operating area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2.8 GWp is potential. Please do not misunderstand: it is\npotential,\u201d Imam said.<\/p>\n<p>He stressed that the figure represents overall potential that\nrequires further planning, not generating capacity that has already been\ninstalled or is operating.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s presentation also named five other locations where it\nplans to begin exploring floating solar development in 2027: Batutegi,\nSindangheula, Karian, Cipanas and Kuningan.<\/p>\n<p>This brings to seven the number of locations included in PJT II\u2019s\nfloating solar plans and potential assessments, each at a different\nstage of preparation.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to solar power, the company has identified 760 MW of\npotential for hydropower plants with pumped-storage systems.<\/p>\n<p>PJT II currently manages the Ir. H. Djuanda hydropower plant in the\nJatiluhur Reservoir area, with installed capacity of 187.5 MW. The\nelectricity it generates is supplied to PLN and several industries.<\/p>\n<p>The floating solar developments are part of the company\u2019s efforts to\nexpand the use of water-resource infrastructure for renewable power\ngeneration.<\/p>\n<p>The use of reservoir surfaces for floating solar is governed by\nMinister of Public Works and Housing Regulation No.\u00a07 of 2023, the\nsecond amendment to Minister of Public Works and Housing Regulation\nNo.\u00a027\/PRT\/M\/2015 on dams.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, on 25 August 2026, the government launched a 100 GWp solar\ndevelopment programme as part of efforts to strengthen national energy\nindependence and security.<\/p>",
